Review by roggae8981

roggae8981 I'm not going to go through a song by song breakdown and I was sober for this show. (Completely sober) So maybe I just wasn't feeling the groove but it was just a pretty dead nuts average Phish show.

2001 to open was a suprise for me. Phish is a band that normally takes the subtle and surprising route but tonight they brought out the giant elephant in the room for everyone to gawk at.

This show lacked a lot of composed technical lines. It was lot of the new 2-3 chord comping parts that aren't really parts, just chugging a long under some words. I like that kinda stuff and some of the newer songs like LSG and Ether Edge sound like I'm at a glorified open mic somewhere.

Some great improvisational moments, a couple of cool segues. But not a front to back barn burner in my book. Felt like every time they were working "it" up on a song they'd just bring "it" back to earth. This is not the inspired, risk taking style they were rocking back at Huntsville and Alpharetta earlier this year to compare it to the other shows I've seen in person.

3/5
